If you received an exam notice or a deadline to respond, contact us immediately. Timely responses keep options open.
How We Help
- Case review & eligibility analysis. Reconstruct how your ERC was calculated (gross receipts and/or suspension‑of‑operations paths) and verify aggregation rules.
- Documentation & narrative. Organize contemporaneous records (financials, payroll reports, government orders/impacts) and present a clear, defensible story.
- Representation. Manage examiner communications, respond to information requests, and, if needed, pursue administrative appeals.
- Resolution options. If adjustments are warranted, we guide you through corrections, repayment plans, and penalty relief strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions
My ERC was prepared by a third party. Can you still help?
Yes. We independently evaluate eligibility and documentation and represent you with the IRS—even if someone else prepared the claim.
What if part of my ERC is unsupported?
We'll outline correction options and seek to minimize penalties and interest while getting you back to full compliance.
How long do ERC cases take?
Timelines vary by complexity and examiner workload. We set expectations up front and keep you updated.
